a Happy 7 years

I know I said I would see you next year, but Joel and I got to go to our absolute favorite restaurant, The Black Cypress to celebrate our seven years of marriage! I had the most amazing desert I've ever tasted. Lemon poppy seed cake, with a pomegranate red wine reduction sauce, roasted pistachios and whipped cream. I almost cried. But, I did not remember my phone, so I have no picture. It's going on my to figure out and make list.

Happy New Year.

6 years

We had our sixth anniversary on Saturday. And to celebrate our continued bliss, we went out to a restaurant called the Black Cypress with James and Alberta. We enjoyed some insanely delicious food. I got the catch of the day. Which happened to be sturgeon. A completely freaky, prehistoric, monster of a delicious fish. The brilliant chef here served it over roasted brussel sprouts, and potatoes with a mustard cream sauce. So good. We shared a bottle of wine and the ordered "S'mores" Homemade brownies, homemade marshmallows, ice cream and crispy sort of wafer thin graham. It was surely a taste from heaven.

dried figs + apples + wheat crackers + goat brie + tomme + merlot

Just as good as going out.

we got married

Five years ago today that is. It seems like yesterday that we said our vows, yet I feel like I've known Joel forever.

We celebrated by cleaning house. (oddly satisfying), and dining out at one of our favourite eateries. God is so good, and blesses us beyond belief. It really was a wonderful day and my life is wonderful as your wife honey. I love you. Here's to spending a zillion more years together.
